Makenzie Wallace Makenzie Wallace: Head Coach

Hi! My name is Makenzie Wallace and I will be the head coach at Maple Bluff this summer! This upcoming summer will be my fourth year as a member of the coaching staff, and I am looking forward to another fun summer at the bluff. Currently, I attend the University of Wisconsin - La Crosse where I am majoring in Exercise Sports Science Pre-Physical Therapy and minoring in Nutrition. I am also a member of the swim team at La Crosse and have served as team captain this past year. My favorite events to swim are IM or breaststroke, my favorite events at college are the 200 breast and 100 IM. My favorite pool game is dibble-dabble, which was a very popular game at Maple Bluff when I was a member of the team. My all time favorite All City memory is when Maple Bluff hosted All City. Additionally, my brother, Nolan Wallace, and I both won our individual breaststroke events back to back which was pretty cool! Some of my hobbies outside of the pool include reading, running, and spending time with my family and friends. At Maple Bluff, I am also involved in swim lessons and lifeguarding so you will most likely see me around the pool often!

Hi, I'm Jaxon! I'm nineteen years old and attending the University of Wisconsin - Madison. My favorite swim team event is the Muskie Olympics, and my favorite game to play is Sharks and Minos. Outside of the pool, I enjoy golfing and being with my friends. I've been swimming for the past 14 years, and am a breaststroker at heart. My favorite All City memory is winning the 100 fly. I look forward to coaching and guarding this summer!

 
Brady Michaels Brady Michaels, Assistant Coach

Hey all, I'm Brady Michaels. This is my fourth year coaching the muskies and I couldn't be more excited to start year 4. A little about me: I am a class of 2024 graduate from Waunakee High School and am attending UW Madison. I have been swimming for over 12 years to this point (8 for the muskies) and have a passion for the sport. Something's I'm excited about this summer are All-City and the Muskie Olympics (both as a coach and a swimmer). I love to play sharks and minnows when I'm at the pool and when I'm not I like to play golf. As a competitor my favorite event is the 100 backstroke and really any of the shorter distance events. My favorite Memory with the muskies was finding the love for the sport my first year with the muskies when we hosted the all mighty All-City. Besides being a coach you'll likely find me at the pool a lot either life guarding or teaching swim lessons. I'm pretty laid back as a coach and just try and spread the love for the sport. Let's have a great summer!

 
Sally Lien Sally Lien, Assistant Coach

Hello MBCC Swim Team and Families! I am Sally Lien and I am thrilled to say I am coaching the Muskies this summer! I have been on the team as a swimmer for about 14 years, and in the last three years, I have worked as a lifeguard and taken great pleasure in working in the place I spent sun up to sun down throughout my childhood. Over the years, my fondest memories have been spending time with the team at the Spaghetti dinner, as well as every week on Bagel Day after practice. Before the long awaited bagel, at the end of practices, my favorite games are Dibble Dabble with teammates of all ages and Sharks and Minnows. As a swimmer, since I was much younger, I have enjoyed swimming backstroke and freestyle, but also bettering myself in the strokes I wasn't always the most fond of. At the end of summers, culminating the swim season into the All City meets, I relish times of relaxing in the tent with teammates in between events or cheering on those in the water. I have loved every summer swimming for the Muskies, and I look forward to this summer and creating more memories with the one of a kind family of the MBCC Swim Team!

Julia Dow Julia Dow, Assistant Coach

Hi Muskie families! My name is Julia Dow and I am 17 years old and a junior in high school. I used to live in Maple Bluff, and I now live in Boston, MA during the year and come back to Maple Bluff during the summers. I have been swimming on the Muskies since I was 8. I love coming back to Maple Bluff every summer and being a part of the team. My favorite game at the pool is first one in last one in. I have always loved playing this game as it reminds me of my younger years on the team. I also love the Muskie Olympics, and am looking forward to those this summer! My favorite part of the season is All City, and my favorite all city memory was when Maple Bluff hosted all city in 2017. It was fun and exciting to see the pool transform and to have the big end of season event at our home pool. During the year, I also swim in the winter for my school. My favorite events are the 50 and 100 free. I’m looking forward to another great summer at Maple Bluff!
